"A Poison Tree" is a poem by the English poet William Blake, first published in 1794 as part of his collection "Songs of Experience," which was a follow-up to his earlier collection "Songs of Innocence." The poem is one of Blake's most famous works and serves as a stark contrast to the innocent and pastoral themes found in "Songs of Innocence." In "A Poison Tree," Blake explores themes of anger, revenge, and the consequences of repressing emotions.

The poem is written in the first person and tells the story of the speaker's experience with harboring anger towards an enemy. The speaker contrasts this experience with that of expressing anger towards a friend, which results in reconciliation. In the case of the enemy, the speaker's suppressed anger grows metaphorically like a tree, which eventually bears a deadly fruit. The enemy is lured by this fruit and is ultimately destroyed by it, illustrating the destructive potential of unresolved anger and the dangers of deceit and manipulation.

"A Poison Tree" is often analyzed for its psychological and moral implications, as well as its use of symbolism and allegory. The poem's simple structure and rhyme scheme belie its complex themes, and it has been subject to various interpretations over the years. It is considered a classic example of Blake's unique poetic style, which combines simplicity with deep philosophical and social commentary. Blake's work, including "A Poison Tree," has been influential in both literary and artistic circles, and continues to be studied and admired for its visionary qualities and its challenge to the status quo of Blake's time.
